      After this flurry of medieval semantic study, Malone turns to the modern, where he presents his second major objection to using the term "Anglo-Saxon": not only is it not the term the English used, its modern use seems designed to partition off the early medieval period.pic.twitter.com/uaP4EMEgOt

      Malone argues that medievalists and scholars refer to the "Anglo-Saxon period" or the "Anglo-Saxon language" as pre-English, or as not properly part of the history of England or the English language.pic.twitter.com/dnRZkJMSGN

      Screenshot reads "Again, the following passage, from the
pen of the philologist and poet, Richard Aldington, is in point:
French poetry is some centuries older than English; it had already
produced a large body of works in various genres when Chaucer wrote
his Canterbury Tales.2
Mr. Aldington of course knows that Beowulf is a poem, but he
evidently does not think of it as an English poem. In other words,
he is an exclusionist, and Anglo-Saxon to him means " pre-English."
Finally, I will cite what Miss Harriet Monroe, the editor and poet,
has to say on this subject. She remarks :
Our present-day American poets . . . [are] shaking hands with the
poets of Chaucer's time and are broadcasting the idea of poetry gained
when the English language was being formed from the Anglo-Saxon and
French.3
Miss Monroe's Anglo-Saxon clearly means " pre-English."
A multitude of further examples might be brought forward, but
those which I have quoted will suffice to show that Anglo-Saxon
often means " pre"

      These debates continued for decades, with scholars like Susan Reynolds & Hirokazu Tsurushima (screenshot pictured, from his Nations in Medieval Britain) arguing that the term was not particularly common in the period in question & asking why it was common practice to use it.pic.twitter.com/k12kuk5SbK

      There are MANY racial narratives surrounding the term "Anglo-Saxon." This has been summarized elsewhere at length, so I won't belabor it, but texts by Reginald Horsman, Cedric Robinson, and one last year by Matthew Vernon have summarized racial Anglo-Saxonism.pic.twitter.com/UlsdtQnqUJ

      In America, its rise was tied to narratives about the historical early medieval English, as María José Mora and María José Gómez-Calderón pointed out. Thomas Jefferson, like many, pushed for study of the period as he connected it to a historical myth of the origins of common law.pic.twitter.com/XdXUYBIkL0

      Screenshot reads "re either translations from the Bible or le
gal and historical documents. Jefferson could only insist on the importance
of these studies and, in the Report of the Commissioners for the University of
Virginia (1818), he once more advocated a Professorship for Modern
Languages, including Anglo-Saxon (together with French, Spanish, Ital
ian, and German).15 The central argument was the same he had used in
177g: "the great instruction which may be derived from it to a full under
standing of our ancient common law, on which, as a stock, our whole sys
tem of law is engrafted."16 This time Jefferson succeeded. The University
of Virginia made provisions for the teaching of Old English upon its foun
dation in 1819, and offered the first course in 1825.17
Interest in Anglo-Saxon studies grew steadily in the first half of the nine
teenth century. In Europe the triumph of Romantic ideas opened new
perspectives, and the flourishing of Germanic philology radically trans

      Though scholars pointed these racial connotations out in the 1980s, it took almost thirty years for medieval studies to start to take them seriously. Medievalists began calling for another term & suggesting that the International Society of Anglo-Saxonists (ISAS) change its name.

      In 2019, Dr Mary Rambaran-Olm resigned from the board of the ISAS, citing their gatekeeping, treatment of scholars of color, sheltering of sexual predators, lack of a harassment policy. She also suggested that they change their name.

      In the aftermath, the society voted to change its name (something already in the works), bc of the racial baggage of "Anglo-Saxon." Narratives about this reduced Dr. MRO's larger critique of the org to her calling for a name-change, which caught the attention of the media.

      Starting with the Washington Post, media orgs began to run articles on the name-change, often featuring pictures of Dr. MRO and painting her as the instigator of the change. This resulted in a massive series of attacks on her and her scholarship.pic.twitter.com/koo9FRGLpo

      Why is my article on The Daily Beast included here? The tweet lumps me in with people attacking Dr. Rambaran-Olm, which I am decidedly not doing in that piece.

      Erik isn’t saying the articles attacked Dr MRO, he’s saying the articles pointed to her as the one wanting to make the change and this led to a lot of attacks directed at her.

          Yes agreed. The image is deliberately separate from the other articles because it's positive and doesn't point to my "otherness".
